Where The Flame Took You

You wander through a dark forest with only a match to guide you. To escape you must relive past memories and deal with the monsters of guilt that surround you...

Try to stay safe in the dark... the creatures are watching...

Where The Flame Took You is a narrative stealth horror game about exploring memories and confronting trauma. As the player character Jamie, you enter a surreal dreamlike forest where objects of Jamie’s childhood home are scattered around. As you explore the space, some objects trigger flashbacks. The story told through these flashbacks is a story of a distant father, a neurotic mother, a rambunctious little sister, and a life devastating event.

Where the Flame Took You was created for the capstone course of the University of Alberta’s Game Development Certificate, and was the winner of the Best Game Development Practices award. It was made in Godot by:
